In this place, I've seen cats of all kinds: some affectionate, mischievous, and others wary, as if they're ready to attack. There's a group of three people who have been doing this work for years, using their own resources. I admire them for their love and devotion to animals. They all tell me they have at least six cats in their homes. They were offering me some cats, or at least one, but I told them I'd already adopted a cat who chose my house as his home, and I don't feel like the owner has permission for him to be there. The truth is, they don't accept animals here. Every time I see my Paolo sleeping peacefully on a rainy day, I can't help but think about the cats living on the streets.
This shelter accepts donations of food for the cats; they don't ask for money, just for donations of rice, chicken, and anything else you can give them that they can eat. I have the idea that it would be a good plan (I may also be wrong) to neuter and spay these cats, but they would have to stay hospitalized until they recover in order to return to the shelter, because unfortunately adoptions are unlikely. Meanwhile, I will continue visiting.
I have not ever had a cat. Did you grow up with cats as pets or is your adopted cat your first one?
He's the first one; I'd never had an affinity for them before, but Paolo came along and won me over.
When I see situations like this, the only thing I can think of is the idea of setting up a project to save all those cats. I wonder how difficult it might be; I wonder if other people would also be interested in supporting this project. What I am certain of is that it would be absolutely worth it.
